Rocky Long hopes small sacrifices pay big dividends

When a San Diego State football player walks in the Fowler Athletic Center, there are two things he cannot be spotted with.

No hats.

No earrings.

While those two things might seem minor, that can still be considered a sacrifice in the minds of a lot of young college men – especially when it comes to earrings.

It’s everywhere in the NFL.

You see superstar players like Odell Beckham Jr. and Julio Jones flaunt stylish earrings both on and off the field.

Even in college, guys like Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts and Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa can be seen rocking a nice pair of hoops during an interview on television.
